Does EF show seat mas right up until departure? Does it retrieve the seat map data from the airport (who controls the seats during check in), or the airline reservation system (Who controls the bookings).
Very few flights nowadays have empty seats by the way - somehow A3 seems to be getting very high loads. I'm expecting that most flights will be too full to use this tactic.
